"Jayj!" Emily whined, "I don't want to go," she pouted giving the best puppy dog eyes she could in her big state, unfortunately they didn't seem to have the same effect than when little Em used them.

"Emilyyy," JJ mocked her playfully, "You yourself said that you needed new shoes," the blonde reminded her,

"Yes, but we have to go stationery and clothes shopping to and that takes forever," the brunette grumbled, JJ eyed her girlfriend,

"We need to shopping hun," she told her,

"I know," Emily mumbled looking down, "I'm just tired, let's go,"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, I do need those new boots and heels after all," Emily winked at the blonde playfully hurrying out of the house,

"Wait, new heels!?" JJ called after her laughing, quickly following the brunette out of the house.

When they arrived at the mall they decided to divide and conquer, "Alright we'll get the shoes together and then I'll get the clothes and you get the stationary," JJ said nodding at her list on her phone,

"Sounds good," Emily responded sticking her hand out flat to the blonde, confused JJ looked at the hand and the brunette sighed reaching for the tanned hand and placing it on top of her own,

"Go team go!" Emily threw her hand up in the air causing the blonde to do the same, JJ burst out laughing,

"You're mad you are," she said through giggles, the brunette just shrugged and grabbed the other woman's hand intertwining it with her own before heading off towards the shoe store, tugging her girlfriend along with her.

The two women spend quite a bit of time in the shoe store trying on shoes, both manging to leave with three pairs each two more than both intended to get, but when the other said how hot the other one looked in a pair of shoes they tried on they were compelled to buy them, they came out with a few bags so Emily offered to take them to the car while JJ went ahead to get the new clothes they needed as she would take longer than Emily would with the stationary,

"All right babe, I'll meet back up with you in an hour outside," JJ said leaning over to peck her girlfriend on the cheek, causing Emily to blush and the blonde giggle at how cute she was before heading off to buy the clothes. Emily headed outside the mall to where they parked the car before placing the bags into the backseat and then double checking she locked the car before heading back into the mall, without JJ this time entering the mall felt different, it seemed louder and like there were more people there than before, she stood for a second trying to get herself orientated, someone knocked into her, she heard a mumbled apology but she didn't really process it, the touch made her skin burn and she decided she wanted to get this over as quickly as possible. Moving swiftly Emily headed in the direction of where she was supposed to buy the new stationary, manging to the find the store Emily looked down at her phone checking what she was supposed to buy. Another person bumped into her. Emily felt her anxiety rising. Trying to do the breathing techniques her therapist had taught her the brunette went through the shelves and grabbed the items she needed throwing them into the basket she had picked up. The store was filling up and the brunette felt her breathe catch in her throat,

"one, two, three, four…" the agent attempted to calm herself down, ignoring the rest of the list she decided that it was probably best if she left now, she was sure she had gotten enough, hopefully JJ wouldn't be upset she hadn't got it all,

'Of course not, she would understand," her mind told her, she took a deep breath and began to check out, sending out a silent thank you for self-checkouts. Once she was done, she left the store and tried to find a quiet corner to calm herself down, she tools a seat on a bench and took a deep breathe, that's when her mind began to get foggy,

"No, not here, not here," other than that one time she had slipped at the end of their workday, Emily had never been little in public, and she really didn't want to slip here in the middle of the crowed mall, alone.

'Can't believe you didn't buy it all, you're a grown woman you should be able to do a little bit of shopping,' a harsh voice in her head told her. Where had that come from? Her mind had been kind to her earlier. She was slipping and fast, she needed to leave the mall, she'd wait by the car for her girlfriend. Scrambling to her feet, Emily clutched the bag of purchased stationary in her hand and looked around. Where was the exit? Trembling she tried to remember the way she came in someone walked into her, there was a child screaming, another bump, her skin burned. Scratching at her shoulder Emily pushed her way blindly through the crowd of people. She heard someone drop some change, teenagers laughing, another child screaming. She was losing control. Her bladder gave a warning squeeze and that's when tears pricked into the corner of brown eyes. She turned around on the spot desperately looking for the sign for a bathroom. Words above stores began to blur and the panic within her increased,

"Are you alright ma'am?" Emily tried to focus on the voice, an older woman stood in front of her looking worried, reaching up a pale hand Emily felt sticky tear tracks on her face, she nodded and rushed away from the woman, the exit she needed to find the exit. Her bladder gave another warning squeeze, bathroom, she had to use the bathroom and then find the exit. She couldn't see anything. She was lost. She wanted her mama. Where was her mama? Her eyes moved frantically looking for any sign of the blonde, a bathroom, or the exit, she would take any one of those things at this point. Her bladder gave a finally squeeze and then it loosened, jumping behind a large, plotted plant, shame flooded the agent as she completely lost control of her bladder and urine began to run down her legs. It was over, she was completely small now, "mama," she whimpered to herself. Luckily, she was wearing black pants, so it didn't show that she had wet herself but moving out from her hiding place was uncomfortable, the pants were sticking to her legs, and it was causing her bottom and inner thighs to burn unpleasantly. She walked around the mall slowly, head hanging down, tears and snot streaming down her face, legs chafing uncomfortably. She didn't know how long she had been wandering looking for her mama, to little Em it felt like forever, but in reality, it had only been a few minutes when she felt a vibration coming from her pocket. She pulled out the annoying buzzing object and stopped when she saw her mama's face on, he screens, she was calling her. Quickly the brunette hit the answer button and held up the phone to her ear,

"Hey Em, you almost done? I'm waiting by the car." JJ told her, her voice was light and soothing, God, she wanted her to be there with her holding her, with this thought she chocked on her sob and whimpered into the phone,

"Em?" JJ questioned worried now, "Baby what's wrong?" Emily couldn't find the words to respond she was so overwhelmed, everything was so loud, and her pants were wet, and her face was gross and sticky, all she could do was whimper again as she stuck her thumb into her mouth, "Emily where are you?" JJ asked her voice firm and panic evident in her voice,

"Don't know," the brunette mumbled around her thumb, "scared mama." The blonde's heart dropped little Em was lost and alone,

"Pumpkin, I need you to look around and tell mama what you see," JJ said softly trying to stay calm, Emily glanced up briefly before hanging her head down,

"Big slushy sign," she mumbled, "mama where is you?" she whimpered,

"I'm coming to get you baby, don't move," JJ told her hurrying back into the mall,

"Alright mama."

Moments later Emily heard her name being called out and hurried footsteps approaching her, she tentatively glanced up when she saw the rush of blonde hair and worried blue eyes hurrying towards her, she let her thumb fall from her mouth and she ran into the awaiting arms,

"Oh baby, oh sweetheart, its alright mama's here now, you're okay." She whispered running her hand through long dark locks. Emily tried to climb up the blonde's body, desperate, trying to get closer to the woman, looking around JJ decided it would be okay to pick up her girl, she grabbed a hold of the bag the brunette was holding and somehow managed to hold five bags and pick up her little one. When her hand came down to support her under her bottom, JJ felt the soaked trousers and sighed gently, choosing not to mention it for the moment she left the mall, giving anyone stern glares who dared to look at Emily too long. For Emily's part her thumb had managed to end up back in her mouth and she was hiding her face in the tanned neck, JJ's shirt was wet with tears, snot, and urine, but she didn't care, she just wanted to get her baby home and safe. Pulling the car keys out of Prentiss's pocket the blonde unlocked the car and gently placed her girl on the ground throwing the bags into the boot and the show bags that had been put into the backseat earlier also into the boot. Placing a plastic bag down on the backseat JJ helped Em sit down on it and buckled her in before moving to the drivers seat,

"We'll be home soon love bug," the blonde said starting the engine, the brunette didn't respond just continued to cry in the backseat.

When they arrived home, JJ ignored the bags instead grabbing only Emily and pulling her tight in her arms, before lifting her onto her hip and taking them both inside. As soon as they had entered the bathroom, JJ pulled off Emily's pants and underwear, throwing them into the washing machine as well as removing her own shirt. Pale skin was red with a rash and JJ sighed sadly, she had clearly had the accident a while before she had found her. "Pumpkin can you take a shower with me?" JJ asked gently, Emily for her part was pretty much mute but nodded and allowed the rest of her clothes to be taken off and when JJ was also naked and had turned the shower on, be led under the warm spray. The mentally younger woman leaned against the other, allowing herself to be washed by her mama, the blonde made sure she was extra gentle when she reached the lower half of her body not wanting to irritate the rash further, when she had finished washing the brunette, JJ made quick work of cleaning herself and then turned off the shower wrapping herself and Em up in towels and guiding her little on to sit down on the bed once she had dried off, she pulled out some off Emily's little clothes but when she moved to dress her the girl whined and pulled away,

"What's wrong pumpkin?" JJ asked gently. Instead of answering verbally Emily pointed to JJ and whined, thinking for a moment the blonde then asked,

"Do you want to wear my clothes love bug?" A nod. JJ smiled gently and then grabbed her comfiest jumper and sweatpants making sure that they had nothing on them that would irritate the little one's skin. Before getting her dressed the blonde made sure to put on diaper cream and pull up on the girl, she expected her to whine but she stayed silent finding that the cream helped the burning sensation she was still experiencing. Once Emily was all dressed, JJ also got dressed and then switched on the washing machine before tugging the brunette's thumb out of her mouth and quickly replacing it with a pacifier before she could burst into sobs. Once that was finally all sorted, the blonde agent picked up her girl and carried her outside while she retrieved the bags from the car, she would sort through it later but for now she was happy just to have everything inside. Emily whined when they re-entered the house, she began to tug at the blonde's shirt and JJ became confused as to what the girl wanted,

"What do you want love bug?" JJ asked softly, bouncing the other agent gently, Emily whined and pulled at the blonde's shirt again. When she had been in the shower with JJ the skin-to-skin contact had stopped her racing heart and gotten rid of the burn of other people bumping into her, she wanted that again, but didn't know how to voice her want. JJ moved to sit on the couch,

"I need you to use your words or show mama what you need baby," she told her gently, thinking for a moment Emily pulled off her jumper, then she tugged at the blonde's shirt,

"You want me to take this off?" JJ asked, Emily nodded, smiling for the first time since they left the mall, slightly confused still, but happy to see her little smiling JJ removed her shirt. As soon as the shirt had been removed Emily dropped her head to rest on the blonde's chest. She reached around to wrap her arms around the blonde's torso and once she was as close to her mama as she physically could be she finally relaxed and stopped fidgeting. The contact stopped her skin burning and her heart racing.

"Love you mama," she whispered into the warm skin, JJ's heart melted,

"I love you to baby," she whispered back. They sat in silence for another couple minutes,

"Can you tell me what happened today?" JJ asked her girl gently, Emily looked up so big brown eyes connected with the baby blue of her caregiver,

"The mall was too loud mama, there were to many people, big Em tried using the techniques we've been taught to calm down, but it didn't work, and we became to panicked we couldn't find the exit or a bathroom, it was really scary mama," the brunette told her,

"Oh, love bug, why didn't you tell me?"

"It was fine when you were there, and then I kind of forgot I had a phone," she admitted the last part a little sheepishly,

"That's alright sweetheart, you were anxious, your thoughts weren't clear," JJ reassured her,

"I don't think I brought everything either mama," the brunette admitted, feeling guilty, "I just needed to get out."

"Its alright pumpkin, I understand, I'm not upset with you," the blonde reassured her again. Emily nodded and settled her head back down on her caregiver's chest,

"I like this," the little admitted, snuggling impossibly closer,

"the skin-to-skin contact?"

"Uh huh, it calms my heart and stops the burning," Emily told her,

"What burning baby?" JJ questioned softly,

"My skin has a burnie feeling from where people bumped into me," Prentiss told her partner,

"Ah okay, I understand baby, I'm glad that this helps with that, you can ask me for skin to skin whenever you need it alright?" JJ told her girl,

"Okay mama." The blonde smiled down at the girl in her arms,

"Mama?"

"Yes, sweetest girl,"

"Can I have two bottles of milk tonight?"

"Two?" A nod.

"Well, I think we can arrange that," JJ told her gently with a small smile on her face.

"Yay," Emily whispered as she listened to the blonde's heart, things were bad and scary earlier, but they were all good now that she was safe in her mama's arms.
